Pluspunten

1. Large engineering firm. If you're looking to get certified (engineer or technologist) you'll get the experience to get that certification. Good company for a young engineer/technologist looking to get experience. 2. If you're an unmotivated individual employee, you will thrive here. Generally, they want "yes" people to do their menial chargeable work. Enjoy spending 8 hours a day collecting a pay check? WorleyParsons is for you. 3. Salaries aren't bad as they do follow the APEGGA salary surveys. However, during the downturn, the majority of the employees took pay cuts while the head of the Canadian entity got a 16% increase in salary.

Minpunten

If you do decide to work here, go into the company with a set of goals of what you want out of the company. 1. They do not care for their people. Though it's a "differentiator" in their corporate fluff statements, they do not exhibit it at all. 2. Money is everything to them. Changeability is everything. If you are useless to them in any way, they will let you go. Since changeability is everything, any job that one competent employee could do, would be split between three employees for the sake of changeability. 3. Innovation is not required. Why do things quicker when clients will pay for the slower method? 4. They provide "value" engineering, NOT "value-added" engineering. What does that mean? Old computers and dirty offices. 5. Middle management is useless. Most of them are good engineers but they are poor managers.

Pluspunten

Massive Project Scale: Worley handles multibillion dollar capital projects. If you want exposure to massive EPC work, this is the place. You get to lead complex, large scale infrastructure and energy developments that actually move the needle globally. Technical Bench Strength: As a PM, you are only as good as your technical team. Worley has a incredibly deep roster of subject matter experts across civil, structural, mechanical, and piping disciplines. You will have serious engineering talent backing up your project delivery. The Energy Pivot: They are heavily transitioning toward sustainability and green energy infrastructure. It is a fantastic place to build your resume in sustainable engineering while still utilizing traditional oil and gas, offshore, or pipeline expertise. Global Mobility: Because they operate worldwide, there is excellent opportunity to travel or relocate for different assignments if that is something you want to pursue. Structured Delivery Systems: They have highly mature stage gate delivery processes. You are never flying blind; they have the rigorous systems in place to manage risk, procurement, environmental compliance, and contract administration effectively.

Minpunten

The Project Cycle Risk: Because Worley operates as a massive EPC firm, your job security is often directly tied to your current billable project. When a large scale project winds down, you need to have your next landing spot already lined up. If the company pipeline is dry, you can end up on the bench, and prolonged bench time always carries the risk of layoffs. The Constant Hustle for the Next Win: To avoid that bench time and ensure seamless work for their teams when a project ends, project managers and leadership have to be incredibly aggressive with proposals and bidding. It creates a high pressure environment where you are often executing your current massive project while simultaneously burning the midnight oil to win the next contract just to keep your engineers and staff utilized.
